Nagar Kirtan is a Sikh religious procession that involves singing hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture, while walking through streets or community areas. Participants often wear traditional clothing and carry symbols like the Nishan Sahib (Sikh flag). The event highlights devotion, community unity, and the celebration of important Sikh festivals or anniversaries. It promotes spiritual reflection, cultural expression, and sharing of Sikh teachings with the wider community. Nagar Kirtan serves both as a religious observance and a call for social harmony and service.
